Pak Army to plant 1 crore trees this monsoon: ISPR

.
Fun fact, there are only 3 trillion trees left on the Planet, so adding 10 billion actually normally would have an impact. However, Brazil is set to cut down 10 billion trees, so it evens out, I guess.

The problem that the world faces is that people are cutting down more trees than we are planting. If the governments of the world are serious about preservation, more needs to be done to regulate the lumber industry. Pakistan shouldn't just plant 10 billion trees, it should make it mandatory for a certain amount of trees to be planted every year, and clamp down on illegal cutting down of trees. For every house built, make property developers plant 2 trees; For every small park, plant 50; for every apartment building built, plant 100.

The end goal of both Pakistan and India should be to plant a combined trillion trees by 2050, across South Asia.

ISLAMABAD .:

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa highlighting the significance of trees, on Monday said “trees are life” so every one of us should attach high priority to planting saplings all across the country.


On part of Pakistan Army, he said 10 million saplings during current monsoon would be planted across the country in coordination with civilian organisations at national and provincial levels like, environment agencies, forest departments and agriculture departments.

He was addressing participants of the inauguration of a nation-wide tree plantation campaign – Sarsabz-o-Shadab Pakistan — at Race Course Park, where a large number of officers and their families besides schoolchildren were invited to attend.

The COAS said we have gathered here for a national cause as the country was in dire need of having more and more trees to avoid looming dangers of deforestation.
